Glastenbury’s Secret

Glastenbury, Vermont, 1936. Three women murdered in a single month, each with the same clean cut across the throat and a different piece of themselves missing. A local constable who knows everyone in town and can't find the killer. A medical examiner who discovers something during an autopsy that frightens him enough to board a night train to Boston without telling anyone why. He never arrives. What follows is an investigation that moves on two tracks - a state detective sent from outside, methodical and unimpressed by appearances, and a journalist who arrives in disguise, asking questions no one else thought to ask.
Between them, they uncover a town that looks ordinary from every angle and is anything but. Glastenbury's Secret is a classic mystery in the tradition of 1930s American noir, with the atmospheric dread of New England winter, a killer hiding in the most unexpected place, and a final revelation that reframes everything that came before it. For readers who like their mysteries cold, their small towns unsettling, and their answers earned.
